Event Description

Gender, Power, and Canonization: The Afterlives of Holy Women in U.S.

Catholicism: A discussion with Kathleen Sprows Cummings Sunday, April 26, 1-3 p.m.

 

We live at a moment when our nation needs the voice of women like never before. Church Historian Kathleen Sprows Cummings offers wonderful imagination over our understanding of ourselves both as a Church and as a profoundly divided American society.

 

As we approach an election and celebrate the anniversary of women’s suffrage, Kathleen’s perspective will provide precious insight. Her reflections have appeared in America Magazine, Commonweal Magazine and The New York Times.

 

Join us for an afternoon exploring the fascinating story of “The Making of a Saint,” and sharing the implications for the role of women in the Church and in our country today.

 

Cummings is the author of A Saint of Our Own: How the Quest for a Holy Hero Helped Catholics Become American.
